I actually need this info too. Does anybody have all the info? I need the bolt circle, size through hole, and counterbore depth.
Thanks, Matt |

The thickness of the hub varies. The surface by the edge being the thinnest (obviously). The measurements I took were off a 911 hub so the studs (911 studs) being pressed in would match.
911 boss = 8mm thick Spot faced 914 hub = 5mm thick You'll need to take off 2mm or simply spot it until you see the outside edge begin to cut in. My guy spot faced the one used boss to 8mm and then made 3mm ring spacers/bosses to bring the remaining 4 holes up to 8mm (search the thread here). Most people spot face them (original boss and all) down to 5mm and leave it at that. I'm more than certain that would be fine. "Standard" 911 studs measure 45mm (50mm loa) x 14mm. Holes should be 13mm. |

I would add:
Measure the studs you are going to use. I once had a set of hubs drilled, and then when I put my aftermarket- longer studs into them, the shoulders were a fraction different than the stock studs (same threads -same nuts fit)... anyways the long studs were loose and spun in the hub, where as stock ones were tight... point is.. measure the diameter of the shoulder of the studs you intend to use so that they fit tight brant |

I agree with Brant. Best to measure what you have.
Also, I forgot to answer your question about the stud head size: The Verbus (factory) studs have a 20mm head. You'll want to spot face your seats to 20mm. Again. Get what you need and measure them. |

also, is it okay to use 50mm studs instead of 45mm. some places no longer stock the 45mm's. anyone know of a good place to get them?

Depends on what they mean by 50mm. Tip to tip? That's the proper length.

pelican lists 45mm as unavailable, so i assume that theyd have the correct measurement system, so can i go with their set of 50mm?

If anyone wants this mastercam program when Im done for their own uses, feel free to PM me. I can send it in MC8 file format, or if you send me a post processor I can run if for you.

yes... but double check that size. I was just reading through the thread again and I'm thinking it should be 14mm on all 5. Drilling through the original effectively takes all the threads off so I'm thinking 14mm is what you need not 13.
Just ran out to the garage with the calipers...14mm. Sorry for the confusion. |

Hey Eric, so have you pressed in the Verbus studs yet using the 14mm thru hole?
Is 14mm the magic number or should it be larger? (cannot be smaller size it would be a little hard getting the threaded portion thru the hub, LOL) Have you put a straight edge over the surface with the new studs pressed in? I've read that the hub surface can get distorted if the thru hole is too small and/or a small chamfer was not added to the thru holes before the stud is installed. I'm keeping my car 4-lug, but I am converting it to studs instead of bolts since I am going to run a 12mm spacer in the rear and and a 25mm spacer in the front (both front and rear spacers will be hubcentric) |

They're in. 14mm is the magic number. The studs measure 14.5mm in the toothed collar. I've heard of distortion but there was none on mine.

Eric: where do you get those bosses on your hubs, mine look so thin in the area where the new studs go! maybe intersted in a set |
